tag / information security - Identity theft protection
Smart cards are protected by a PIN or a biometric, typically a fingerprint. If you lose your smart card, notify your health insurance company or the company who issued you the card. They will deactivate your lost card and issue a new one to you. Since the finder of your card requires knowledge of your PIN or even your fingerprint to access the information on the card, your information is safe.
